Introduction

Moving is exciting, but it can also be chaotic. Whether you’re relocating within Cape Coral or moving to Fort Myers, storage during your move can make the process smoother, cheaper, and far less stressful.

When You Might Need Storage During a Move

Storage is helpful if:

  • Your closing dates don’t line up
  • You’re downsizing
  • You’re staging your home
  • You’re renovating
  • You need temporary space between homes

Step 1: Choose the Right Unit Size

A quick guide:

  • Studio/1 bedroom: 5x5 to 5x10
  • 2 bedroom: 10x10
  • 3–4 bedroom: 10x15 or 10x20

XS-Storage offers a range of sizes to fit your move.

Step 2: Pick Drive-Up or Climate-Controlled

  • Drive-up: Fast loading and unloading for heavy items
  • Climate-controlled: Best for furniture, electronics, and valuables

Step 3: Pack Smart

  • Label boxes by room
  • Keep essentials accessible
  • Use sturdy boxes and covers
  • Place heavier items in back

Step 4: Use Month-to-Month Flexibility

Most moves don’t follow a perfect schedule. XS-Storage’s month-to-month rentals let you keep your unit only as long as you need it.

Step 5: Take Advantage of 24/7 Access

Late-night or early-morning moves? 24/7 access means your schedule comes first.
